Denise RichardsDenise RichardsAs the divorce of Charlie Sheen and estranged wife Denise Richards gathers pace...

More shenanigans ensue.

Denise has spoken out about her relationship with Bon Jovi star Richie Sambora, the estranged husband of her former friend Heather Locklear.

She insists that the romance didn't start until Heather and Richie had split and her friendship with Heather was already over.

Speaking to TMZ.com, Denise said, "I wish Heather well and happiness and it's really unfortunate that it's gotten to this point and Heather knows why we aren't friends.

"I don't want to get into all of that, but I wish her well and she knows that there was nothing that happened during either marriage and unfortunately our friendship had to dissolve."
